* Notes:

- Another slow day.  Struggled with the weights, as everything felt heavy today.  Furthermore, I've been trying to use a pair of old leather weightlifting shoes, which I had altered by increasing the heel height by 3/4 inch -- at the moment, they suck!  I feel too far forward on my toes in the beginning of the lifts and that forward feeling is causing low back pain along with inconsistencies in my lifting technique.  I experienced this yesterday as well with the snatches.  Time to "shit-can" the shoes and revert back to my Nike Romaleos.
